CAUSE NO. 3:13-CV-1228 WL
07-08-2014
SHED TREVEL WOODS, Petitioner, v. SUPERINTENDENT, Respondent.
OPINION AND ORDER
Shed Trevel Woods, a pro se prisoner, filed this habeas corpus petition challenging the prison disciplinary hearing (IYC 13-08-100) which was held on August 24, 2013. At that hearing the Disciplinary Hearing Body (DHB) found him guilty of Unauthorized Financial Transactions in violation of B-220. He was sanctioned with the loss of 90 days earned credit time and demoted from Credit Class Two to Credit Class Three. The Respondent has filed a motion to dismiss arguing that "[b]ecause the conviction and sanctions challenged in the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus in this case have been vacated, there is no longer a case or controversy for this Court to adjudicate regarding the original Petition, and the case is moot." DE 9 at 2. The Respondent has also filed a letter from the Legal Services Division of the Indiana Department of Correction stating that the sanctions have been vacated. DE 9-1. Woods has not responded and the time for doing so has now passed.
For the foregoing reasons, the motion to dismiss (DE 9) is GRANTED, and this case is DISMISSED AS MOOT.
SO ORDERED.
